Despite owning this game for nearly ten years, there is one event on the calendar that I had never attended. Until today. It’s Founder’s Day. So I headed over to the wishing well and found Tortimer there.
He gave me a weed model.
The reasoning behind the weed model is that if not for the founders (or the forecritters, as Tortimer says), the town would just be an undeveloped valley overrun with weeds. Tortimer has a couple things to say about the holiday, but that’s it. It’s a bare-bones holiday that doesn’t have any festivities. Oh well.
On the way back to my house, I saw a dig spot and dug up a mega bowtoid. But the interesting part about that was the bug on the tree appeared to hover in place when the view changed and made the tree invisible.
As I went up the ramp, Puck and Robin were having an argument. They took their frustrations out on me.
I then went in my house to lay down the weed model. As expected, it’s not very exciting.
I then went back outside and walked around town. Octavian was staring at a fish in the river, so I fished it out as he watched. It was an eel, and Octavian stood there applauding my catch.
So I talked to him and he complimented my eel, asking if I caught it myself. HUH?
Anyway, he asked if he could just have the eel, and I agreed to give it to him. But he ended up giving me something in return anyway, an apple.
After digging up some fossils and stopping at the post office, I then headed for home.
